I refer the Rt Hon Member to the answer given to Question UIN 29145, tabled on 11 September 2026.

Further to that response, this Government is clear that terrorist material including that from Palestine Action, has no place online, and we take the threat of online radicalisation extremely seriously. When a group is proscribed under UK law, it becomes a criminal offence to support or promote that organisation. Platforms are expected to act on this by removing content that glorifies, supports, or is otherwise linked to the proscribed group, in line with their terms of service and legal obligations.

The Home Office works closely with tech companies to strengthen their systems to detect and remove terrorist content. We continue to take robust action to reduce the availability and accessibility of terrorist content online.
